The difference is immediate and lasting. Within days, you’ll notice the absence of that musty roach odor. Within weeks, you’ll stop finding droppings behind your appliances. And with our ongoing prevention approach, you’ll stay roach-free for the long haul.
We’ve been protecting Wiscon families from roaches and other pests for years at Around The Clock Pest Service. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner – not a sales rep or call center.
We understand Wiscon’s unique pest challenges. The humid Florida climate creates perfect conditions for German roaches, palmetto bugs, and other species that plague local homes year-round. That’s why we’ve built our reputation on fast response times and treatments that actually work.
With over 100 five-star Google reviews, we’ve proven our commitment to honest service and real results. When you call, you get straight answers about your roach problem and clear solutions – no sales pressure, no hidden fees.
First, we identify exactly what type of roaches you’re dealing with. German roaches require different treatment than American cockroaches or palmetto bugs. This step is crucial because the wrong approach wastes time and money.
Next, we target both the roaches you see and the ones you don’t. We place professional-grade baits in areas where roaches hide and breed – behind appliances, in wall voids, and other spots DIY treatments can’t reach. These baits eliminate entire colonies, not just individual roaches.
Finally, we identify entry points and create barriers to prevent new infestations. We also provide you with specific prevention tips for your home’s unique situation. Most importantly, we stay available 24/7 if you need us back.

Our roach control service covers all species common to Wiscon and Hernando County. Whether you’re dealing with fast-reproducing German roaches in your kitchen, large palmetto bugs in your bathroom, or American cockroaches in your garage, we have the expertise to eliminate them.
In Wiscon’s warm, humid climate, roaches stay active year-round. German roaches can produce over 30,000 offspring annually from a single female, which is why quick action is essential. Our treatments target their rapid breeding cycle and eliminate entire colonies.
We use state-certified methods that are safe for your family and pets but lethal to roaches. Every treatment is customized for your specific infestation and home layout. Plus, you get direct access to the owner throughout the entire process – no corporate runaround.
Even spotless homes can have roach problems in Florida. Roaches aren’t just attracted to dirt – they need water, shelter, and tiny amounts of food that exist in every home.
German roaches can survive on crumbs smaller than you can see, grease residue behind appliances, and even toothpaste or soap. They enter through grocery bags, packages, or small cracks around pipes and doors. Once inside, they multiply rapidly in warm, humid areas like behind your dishwasher or under sinks.
The key is that cleanliness helps prevent roaches but doesn’t guarantee you won’t get them. Professional treatment eliminates existing roaches and creates barriers to prevent new ones from establishing colonies in your home.
The fastest effective method combines professional baiting with habitat modification. Sprays might kill the roaches you see, but they won’t eliminate the hidden colonies where German roaches breed.
Professional gel baits work because roaches take the poison back to their nests, eliminating entire colonies including eggs and juveniles. We place these baits in areas where roaches hide – behind appliances, in wall voids, and cabinet crevices that homeowners can’t reach safely.
Combined with identifying entry points and removing water sources, this approach typically shows results within 3-7 days. However, complete elimination takes 2-3 weeks as the bait works through the entire colony structure.
“Water bug” is often a polite term people use for large cockroaches, but true water bugs and cockroaches are different insects. True water bugs are aquatic insects that bite and typically stay near ponds or pools.
What most people call “water bugs” are actually American cockroaches or palmetto bugs. These are large, reddish-brown roaches that prefer moist areas but live in your home, not in water. They’re about 1.5 inches long with wings and can fly short distances.
German cockroaches are smaller (about half an inch), light brown with two dark stripes behind their heads. If you’re seeing either type regularly in your Wiscon home, you have a cockroach problem that needs professional treatment, not just an occasional water bug.
Yes, we provide comprehensive commercial roach control for restaurants, offices, warehouses, and other businesses throughout Wiscon and Hernando County. Commercial properties face unique challenges because roaches can damage your reputation and violate health codes.
We work around your business schedule and use discreet treatment methods that won’t disrupt operations. Our approach includes identifying entry points, eliminating existing infestations, and establishing ongoing prevention protocols. We also provide documentation for health inspections.
As a family-owned business, you work directly with the owner who understands that your business reputation depends on effective pest control. We offer flexible scheduling including after-hours and weekend service to minimize impact on your operations.
Florida kitchens need specific prevention strategies because our year-round warmth and humidity create ideal roach conditions. Start by eliminating water sources – fix leaky faucets, dry sinks completely, and check under appliances for moisture buildup.
Store all food in airtight containers, including pet food. Clean behind and under appliances monthly, paying attention to grease buildup around stoves and dishwashers. Seal cracks around pipes and electrical outlets with caulk, as German roaches can squeeze through incredibly small spaces.
Take out garbage daily and keep it in identifyed containers. Wipe down counters with degreasing cleaners, not just water. Most importantly, address any roach sightings immediately – in Florida’s climate, a few roaches can become thousands within months.
We offer 24/7 response for roach emergencies throughout Wiscon and surrounding areas, even on weekends. Most of our quotes are provided over the phone, so you can get immediate pricing and schedule service without waiting for callbacks.
When you call, you speak directly with the owner, not a call center. We understand that roach problems can’t wait, especially when you have guests coming or you’re dealing with a severe infestation. We commit to responding within 24 hours and often can provide same-day service.
Our emergency response includes immediate assessment, targeted treatment of the worst areas, and a follow-up plan to eliminate the entire infestation. As a local, family-owned business, we’re invested in our Wiscon community and treat every emergency call with the urgency it deserves.
